A Paducah paper ventures the
following sensible assertion that
many people think it is the business
of the newspapers to get up "boom"
in city while they SIT on their hum
kers and watch the booming of the
boom. They lose sight entirely of the
tact that they should pull off their
coats, roll up their sleeves and 60 en-
ergeticaliy to work themselves to set
the boom in motion, while the news
papers record its progress and assist
in removing all obstacles in the way
of its success. Every citizen should
interest himself in the matter and
give substantial encouragement to
every worthy scheme that is calcula-
ted to advance the interests of the
city. A boom does not come in a
minute. 1t takes money, industry,
railroads, manufactures, etc, to make
substantial boom.

Sunday morning Emma Abbott at.
tended services at the McKendrel
Methodist church in Nashville. Dur
Ing the sermon Rev. w. A. Chandler
heaped abuse on theaters and the
ater-goers, and spoke in uncompli-
mentary terms ofactors and actresses.
AT the conclusion Of the sermon, EN-
ma Abbott arose and after announc-
ing her name, said she had been on
the stage since she was eight years
old, and had always tried conscen-
tiously TO the best of her ability, to
do her duty before God at all times,
and that she would defy any one in
the world to say one word against
her fair name. She said she would
speak of such noble women ae Jenny
Lind, Albini, Modjeska, and count
less other lights of the stage, who
had led exemplary lives, who had de-
voted themselves to doing good deeds,
and who were noble wives and moth
ers. The minister had made objec-
tion to prayers being sung in the
operas, but when she knelt down to
sing the prayer in "Mignon" and the
bohemian Girl" those words came
right from her heart. In all the ope-
ras given last week there was no i'm.
pure or improper allusion, and be-
cause one occasionally finds vice in
tho pulpit or upon the stage, there is
no reason for such wholesale DENIM
citation, which, in her opinion, was
entirely false and uncalled for.
